The report has been prepared by the in country UNDP team consisting of Mr. Stephen Lindsay (Project Consultant), Ms. Emma Mario (UNDP Environmental Programme Analyst) and Ms. Shoko Takemoto (UNDP Regional Technical Specialist) (10 February through to 02.March, 2014). Introduction The GEF 5 STAF Nauru Ridge to Reef PPG inception and project design workshops were held in Nauru on Wednesday the 19 th and Wednesday the 26th of February, 2014, respectively. Nine (9) participants attended the Inception workshop and an additional 18 participants were met individually to discuss the inception programme and twenty seven (27) participants attended the project design workshop, including community representatives from each of the R2R project sites. The two workshops were well attended with helpful and constructive discussion and inputs provided by the participants who representative key government and Community Based Organisations (CBO) stakeholders. Annex 1 provides a list of all attendees at both the Inception and project design workshops and those stakeholders the UNDP team met individually. Key inception and project design workshop objectives and results included; 1. Awareness and support for the Nauru Ridge to Reef Project PPG and key Global Environment Facility/UNDP requirements and processes was achieved through the provision of background information; 2. Key national stakeholders were introduced to the UNDP consultant team, individual backgrounds, project roles, key meeting goals and information requirements; 3. Key national projects (recent past, current and pending) were highlighted, discussed and background information and reports provided to the UNDP consultant team. 4. Through discussions (formal and informal) full support for the R2R project was provided by both government and community stakeholders including the proposed mission programme, list of agencies and CBO’s to met to discuss the project and time frames. 5. Detailed project description was provided discussing the formulation of the PIF, UNDP/GEF review process, PIF acceptance and the PPG formulation and development including stakeholder roles and participation. Including outcomes and outputs, project management arrangements and delivery expectations, pilot sites, pilot activities and community participation and their respective roles in the implementation of the ridge to reef project. 6. Undertook extensive stakeholder dialogue, feedback and review of all aspects of the projects outcomes, outputs and specific actions were developed. Through consensus, agreements were reached on all aspects of the project and details documented, which are included in the draft PPG. 7. Project sites were discussed resulting in five (5) project sites agreed which include the communities in the districts of Ananbar, Anibare, Buada, Ijuw and Meneng and specific output and actions agreed. All districts and communities were visited by the UNDP team and specific activities confirmed. 8. Minor changes to the original PIF were identified, agreed and documented by all stakeholders through the in country dialogue and activities. 9. There was no changes in the PIF indicative grant amount for the three focal areas, however increases in all three focal areas associated with the PPG Co financing was obtained during the in country visit. 10. Connectivity with existing conservation/management projects and development partners were identified, including potential collaboration and up scaling and incorporated into the final PG document; 11. Identification and collection of key data and information relevant to the compilation of the full sized proposal. Project Sites: Through considerable government and community stakeholder discussions, five (5) districts comprising of a single community per district were agreed to be the projects sites to undertake the work programme of the Nauru R2R project. This includes the districts of Ananbar, Anibare, Ijuw, Meneng and Buada. The first four communities include marine and terrestrial environments whilst the last community, Buada is land locked however possess a biological unique brackish water “lagoon” that is connected through the island to the ocean. The coastal areas within these districts covers approximately 6 kilometres which is roughly one third of the nation’s coast line and the land area covers roughly half of the nations land mass. A report outline of the projects site profiles report is included in Annex 2. The figure below provides the location of each of these districts in relation to the island and details the activities that have been agreed to be undertaken by the R2R project. Project Strategic Framework The agreed Project Strategic Framework PSF (Annex 3) was developed through extensive consultation with key Nauru government agencies and community representative stakeholders during the UNDP team in country assignment. All project outcomes, outputs and activities were discussed in detailed and agreements reached. Final R2R project budget allocation for all outcomes, outputs and activities aligned with the original agreed PIF budget allocations. Project Outcomes The four project outcomes detailed in the PIF remain the same for the full size PPG proposal. All stakeholders agreed that these outcomes represent the goal of the R2R project and were fully supported. Project Outputs The project outputs through individual stakeholder discussion and extensive discussion during the inception and PPG workshops have under gone review, refinement and change reflecting the consensus of all stakeholders. The agreed outputs have full support of all stakeholders. These changes are included (highlighted in green) in the table below which includes the PIF and PPG output for each outcome.
